Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

TS1398 I am using the wifi network at home but every time I connect I have to put my password to the network. Is there a way to identify this wifi network on my iPad and once it detects it joins directly without having to put my password?????

My iPhone will not use the 3G network.

My iPhone will not use the 3G network. I have to turn it off in the settings. Then my phone will connect to the E network. This is the only way I can make calls. Does anyone know why?

I am in Utah and with AT&T. I was able use 3G for about 6 months and then it just stopped. I took it to the apple store and they said it was an AT&T issue. I went to AT&T and they said it was an Apple issue. I had the SIM card replaced ands that still didn't work. It wasn't until I turn off the 3G that I was able to make calls again. Now I'm just on the E permanently.

I am having a data excess usage issue with my Jetpack although I did not use the VZW network at all.

Background: My home does not have access to landline internet and I am relying on a Verizon Jetpack device rather than satellite cable for internet access. Within my JetPack wireless network I have several devices connected, iPADs, PC’s, printer, etc. (up to 5 devices can be connected with my system). Recently, I had one device within my immediate wireless network that I needed to transfer data via FTP to another local device within my immediate network. The receiving device FTP’d data from device (198.168.1.42) to local IP (address 192.168.1.2). To understand the data path a Trace rout for this transfer is 198.168.1.42 (source) to 198.168.1.1 (Jetpack) to 192.168.1.2 (receiver). Note that the VZW network ((cloud)/4G network) was NOT used in this transfer nor was any VZW bandwidth used for this transfer (of course less the typical overhead status/maintenance communications that happen regardless). Use of the VZW bandwidth would be something like downloading a movie from Netflix, (transferring data from a remote site, through the VZW network, into the Jetpack and to the target device). I also understand if ones devices have auto SW updates that would also go against the usage as well. I get that. My understanding of my usage billing is based data transfer across the VZW network.
Now to the problem: To my surprise I was quite substantially charged for the “internal” direct transfer of this data although I didn’t use the VZW network at all. This does not seem to be right, and doesn’t make much sense to me. Usage is should be based on the VZW network not a local Wi-Fi. In this case, Verizon actually gets free money from me without any use of or impact to the VZW network. Basically this is a VERY expensive rental for the jetpack device, which I bought anyway. Considering this, I am also charged each time I print locally. Dive into this further, I am also interested in knowing what is the overhead (non-data) communications between the jetpack router and devices and how much does that add up to over time?
Once I realized I was getting socked in bandwidth, as a temp solution I found an old Wi-Fi router, created a separate Wi-Fi network off the Jetpack, but the billing damage was already done. Switching each device back and forth to FTP and print is a hassle and there should be no reason the existing hardware couldn’t handle this and charges aligned with VSW usage. Is purposely intended by Verizon? Is this charging correct? And can I get some help with this?
Logically, usage should be based on VZW network usage not internal transfers. All transfers between IP addresses 192.168 are by default internal. Any data that needs to leave the internal network are translated in to the dynamic IP addresses established by the VZW network. That should be very easily detected for usage. In the very least, this fact needs to be clearly identified and clarified to users of the Jetpack. How would one use a local network and not get socked with usage charges? Can one set up a Wi-Fi network with another router, hardwire directly from the router to the Jetpack so that only data to and from the VZW network is billed? I might be able to figure out how to have the jetpack powered on but disable the VZW connection, but I don’t want to experiment and find out that the internal transfers are being logged and the log sent after the fact anyway once I connect…. A reasonable solution should be that users be able to use the router functions of the Jetpack (since one has to buy the device anyway) and only be billed for VZW usage.
Your help in this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

i do not have a backup of it, so i am thinking about replacing my old hard drive from the water damaged into this one, not even sure if that would work, but it did not seem to be damaged, as i recovered all the files i wanted off of it to put onto this mbp
the previous owner didnt have it set to boot, they had all their settings left on it and tried to edit all the names on it, had a bunch of server info and printers etc crap on it. i do not believe he edited the terminal system though--he doesnt seem to terribly bright(if thats possible)
tbh i hate lion compared to the old one i had, this one has so many more issues-overheating,fan noise, cd dvd noise
if you need screenshots or data of anything else as away
[problem is i do not want to start from scratch if there is a chance of fixing it, this one did not come with disks or anything like my first. so i dont even know if i could, and how it sets now i am basically starting from scratch, because now all my apps are reset but working, i am hoping to get my data back somehow though, i lost all of my bookmarks and editing all my apps and setting again would be a pain

My ipad suddenly stopped connecting to the wifi network. My lap top still does however

My iPad was working fine with the wifi at my house but suddenly stopped working today. My laptop still connects just fine but I can no longer get my iPad to connect. Any suggestions?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is your router plugged in? Do you have internet?
Come on...
I have the same issue. Yesterday I could connect to my wifi just fine, but today I turned on my wifi and the wheel just spins and spins. I restart my phone and I get the "greyed out" wifi switch. So I restart, and I'm back to square one. The wheel just keeps spinning.
I've updated the router firmware, I've power cycled everything multiple times, and still nothing.
Can anyone give a real solution? Or do we just have to suffer until apple update this **** IOS6?

Ipad Air will not use the hotspot from my Samsung Galaxy S4

I just got my Ipad air WiFi ( 16GB). I have a samsung galaxy S4 phone. When I turn on my hotspot on the samsung and connect to it from the Ipad, it says there is a connection, the WiFi symbol is on the Ipad, and then try to go to the internet and nothing happens. I then turned off my hotspot and turned on my boyfriends Iphone 4s hotspot and it worked instantly. I have tried rebooting both devices as awell as try using an open network on my hotspot on the samsung. Still nothing! Both devices are up to date on everything. Has anyone else had a problem connecting thier samsung to Ipad?

if it see the signal, and lets you join your galaxy hot spot - it should work. But your carrier needs to know, and you need to have an accout that supports the use of a hotspot. Att for example, charges $20 mermonth to allow tethering. Is your account set up for that?

IPad mini apps not using the internet.

There is an issue with my sister's iPad mini where when she's connected to our home internet, only some of her apps use the internet and others don't. For example, while Safari and My Singing Monsters work (thats pretty well the only two apps that work with the internet), the App store, iTunes, Google, Youtube and every other app that requires internet doesn't. She's connected to our internet (it even says in Wi-fi that she's connected) but for some reason almost all her apps (not every app) acts as if she had no connection. Our internet is fine. It works with every other device in our house so its something to do with the iPad mini itself. Pretty well, she has internet connection but most of the apps act as if she doesn't.

Hello Zoruzero,
The first thing I would suggest checking is ... another Wi-Fi network. Does your sister have the same issue when she is in a different location? (home, work, local coffeehouse?).
Here are the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051
Make sure your router is on and that you're within range.
If you're too far from your router you won't get a signal, so make sure you're within range.
Make sure Wi-Fi is on and that you can see your network.
Tap Setting > Wi-Fi and make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. Tap the name of your Wi-Fi network to join. A blue checkmark beside a network name means you're connected.
Get help if you can't turn on Wi-Fi.
If prompted, type in your Wi-Fi password.
If prompted, enter the password for your Wi-Fi network. Learn what to do if you don’t know your password.
Check all of your cables and connections.
If you still can’t connect to your network or get online, make sure your router is connected to the modem and turned on.
Restart.
For more help, try restarting your device, router, or cable/DSL modem. After each step, check to see if you fixed the issue.
• Restart your iOS device.
• Unplug your router and plug it back in.
• Unplug your cable or DSL modem and plug it back in.
Still can’t connect?
Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
Get more help
If someone else set up your network, ask them for help. If you’re using a network at a company, school, hotel, store, or other free Wi-Fi location, find an employee for assistance.
If you're connected to a Wi-Fi network but you can’t get online, try to use your Wi-Fi network on other devices. If you can’t get online using your other devices, there might be a service outage. Call your cable company or internet provider for help.
Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.
Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router.
Hope this helps ...

Computer can not find the wifi internet

Goodmorning,
I have a mac book pro (with lion) and wifi internet at home. All of a sudden my computer can not find my network although it is available and working as an i pad and a mobile are working via this wifi network.
I tried 'create a network' and 'join other network' but it looks like the computer can not find the wifi network. My computer has internet access via cable, but just by plugging in the cable wihtout changing the settings (switching off the wifi).
Any idea what to do ?
Thanks

The Mac on cable uses Ethernet. Wi-Fi uses AirPort. Try and delete your Airport setting and re-enter your configurations again.

Is there any way to have an ipad wifi 3G but not use the 3G (therefore avoiding the extra data plan costs) and just use the wifi?

i am looking to buy an ipad 2 or the new ipad (preferably 32gb) but dont want to buy the 3G version as i have unlimited data usage in my mobile phone plan, i know the wifi only ipad is generally cheaper, but i was wondering if there was a way to buy the ipad with 3G capabilities but not use the 3G and avoid the cost of paying the extra unnecessary data plan? (I know this is a really weird question but i have the opportunity to buy a 3G ipad and was curious of the possibility? any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers

HT1695 Anyone else having issues with not being able to get wifi on their iPhone 4S? I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

Thank you, I am trying to last option now. Resetting my network settings and if that still doesn't work ill have to go in to the apple store. Hopefully I won't need a new phone because I'm already at my limit with replacements on my AppleCare even though the issue with the phones 3 out of 4 times wasn't my fault and I can't afford to buy another phone.

I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password. I have tried everything. I even changed the password, nothing is working. Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphon

I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password. I have tried everything. I even changed the password, nothing is working. Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5. I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack. Please help, I need to use this feature soon. Thank you so much

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.
